Solyte DLX Softside Luggage, Mediterranean Blue, Underseater

Nice looking

Just what I was looking for to combine with my overhead bin carry-on to be able to pack enough luggage without having to check a bag. Sturdy, fits on the handle of my carry-on and has a lot more space inside than I expected.

Great bag. I bought this one and the spinner I kept this one because the quality was better and I despised the flap handles on the spinner. The front flap on this one was also a smidge wider.

We recently bought four of these for a trip. They exceeded my expectations in every way! Excellent quality, great use of space with practical compartments, and fitted enough for a week beach vacation. Super easy to open for TSA if necessary. Even the flight attendant commented on how small they were. After ordering about four different types to test run, these came out as our definite favorites! It is on the smaller side of the carryon we were permitted but I’m so happy because if we fly a different airline with tighter restrictions, it won’t be a problem. If I saw any downside, it would be to remove the cumbersome sleeve inside which could fit your iPad, but that’s personal and I may even use it in the future if needed. Buy, buy, buy!!!

Limited use

The main purpose of this bag is to fit underneath the (coach) seat in front of you on a typical commercial airliner. It is small enough to do just that in most cases, at least in my experience. Of course that is unlikely the case for less conventional seat (i.e., business class or corporate jet) but that’s a very different “problem.”

I’ve shopped for specific pieces of luggage, especially THIS type, over and over. Each time, I’ve been somewhere happy but not completely pleased. Now I’m feeling even better about this choice. This piece seems extremely well made and well designed to hold a multitude of items to take on board and under the seat.
